NECK-YOKE HOLDER.

,SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 288,024, dated November 6, 1883.

Application filed August 25, 1883.

To (L55 whom it may concern: Be it known. that I, SAllIUEL COLAHAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, inthe county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Neck-Yoke Holders when attached to the tongues or poles of wagons or carriages, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my improvement consists in the construction of a plate made of leather, banded by metal or any other'suitable material and its attachments to secure the pole and the neck-yoke together in a manner whereby great strength and durability are secured, While at the same time the desired flenibility is admitted. I attain these obj ects' by the mechanism or mode of construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- 7 Figure 1 is a plan view, looking down from the--top. Fig. 2 is a sectional view, showing the construction and operation of the parts.

Figs. 3and 4 are detailed views,

A is thetongue or pole. B is the neck-yoke. C is the ring, through which the tongue A passes, and which is firmly secured in the straps or hands E. D is the staple, in which the neck-yoke is secured firmly to the straps or hands E by means of the nuts I) b andtheir Washers. G is a bushing or thimble, in which ring 0 is journaled to receive the wear and prevent friction on the strap. 0 is a roller,

(Model) securedto the under side of the strap E, to prevent friction or wear on the pole, and to admit of its playing freely. M is an angular strap-holder, firmly secured to the neck-yoke plate E, while a corresponding holder, D, is attached to the pole by means of the bolt K and a strap, H, said strap passing through the holders and connected by a buckle, a, Whereby the plate E is drawn down and held firmly to the pole.

\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination and arrangement of the ring 0,, its bushing O, and straps or plate E,

with the neck-yoke B and its staple D, substantially as shown and described.

2. The plate or strap E, its friction-roller O, in combination with the pole and neck-yoke, substantially as shown and described.

3. The combination and arrangement of the neck -yoke, its strap and friction-roller, and pole-ring, with the angular strap'holders M and D, the strap H, and the bolt K, whereby the neck-yoke is permitted free movement, and at thesame time is firmly secured, sub

stantially as and for the purpose set forth.
